What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) and TMEM16A calciumactivated chloride channels (CaCCs) are distinct but share some features and can co-immunoprecipitate. Currently, there are no specific inhibitors for these channels exist. Our prior research showed Flavoxate inhibits VRAC currents in HEK293 cells under hypotonic conditions. MFCA (3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid, a primary active metabolite of Flavoxate) and 3-methylflavone are two structural analogues of Flavoxate. To further elucidate the specific inhibitory effects of the three flavonoids on VRACs and TMEM16A/CaCCs, the current study used patch-clamp techniques to explore their effects on the two chloride channels. Additionally, we investigated the effects of the three flavonoids on action potential (AP) firing in small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons utilizing the current-clamp technique. Our findings indicate that the inhibition rates of 30 μM Flavoxate, MFCA, and 3-methylflavone on VRAC currents approximately were 78%, 46%, and 35%, with corresponding half-maximal concentration (IC
